In my experience, based on three posts on Sat, 5 Apr, From: a yahoo.com
address to a list which has about 240 individual message deliveries per
post, about 90 of those to about 8 domains bounced. gmail.com was not
one of the domains that bounced the posts. Gmail may have changed it's
behavior in the last 8 days, but this reason doesn't look like the ones
I've seen. E.g.:

aol.com/netscape.net/compuserve.com: 521 5.2.1 :  (DMARC) This message
failed DMARC Evaluation and is being refused due to provided DMARC Policy

yahoo.com/sbcglobal.net: 554 5.7.9 Message not accepted for policy
reasons.  See http://postmaster.yahoo.com/errors/postmaster-28.html

comcast.net: 550 5.2.0 mfuB1n01M0MH6DU0XfuCv5 Message rejected due to
DMARC. Please see
http://postmaster.comcast.net/smtp-error-codes.php#DM000001

hotmail.com/msn.com: 550 5.7.0 (BAY0-MC3-F56) Unfortunately, messages
from (72.52.113.16) on behalf of (yahoo.com) could not be delivered due
to domain owner policy restrictions.

Bottom line: I don't think this is a DMARC bounce.
